Fender American 1250R Ultracore Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings 10-46

Stable feel and defined tone under higher string tension

Fender American 1250R Ultracore nickel-plated steel electric guitar strings are designed for players who prioritise tuning stability, clarity, and consistent response. The reinforced Ultracore high-carbon steel core increases strength and elasticity, which helps the strings hold pitch more reliably during aggressive playing and frequent bending. This core design supports controlled tension across the set, contributing to precise intonation and a predictable feel under the fingers.

The premium nickel-plated steel wrap balances brightness with warmth, producing a clear, focused tone that remains articulate across clean and driven sounds. Hex core construction enhances pick attack and definition, allowing notes to start cleanly and remain separated in dense arrangements. The 10–46 gauge provides a firmer feel than lighter sets, favouring players who want confident low-string control without sacrificing expressive lead response on the plain strings. Colour-coated ball ends simplify string changes and ensure consistent installation. Made in the USA, these strings are built to reduce breakage and minimise the need for constant retuning.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think these strings are best suited to players who demand stability and clarity from a medium gauge set, especially when consistent tuning and controlled response directly shape playing confidence.
